Strahd *is* Ravenloft.I think the domain IS Strahd
Though I don't like him much either...heh.
There are so many other domains I'd rather play in I probably won't get to Barovia for a long time.
Barovia without Strahd?

Just a note: I had only glanced at this befofre and I must say that this is a great point!Darkknight wrote:That also is my most hated point with this DL. Four hundred years, and the only time he gets excited is during the next incarnation. Yes his iron fist keeps the boyers in check, he protects his people from the outside, but that is also the weakness of his land.
So much is left to discuss if Strahd were to die. I think it would fall to Lyssa, but it could be several others. I wonder as well if there would be a core wide issue.
If I was running, I hold Strahd as the lynchpin, the core would break apart... More clusters, more islands...
As for the DPs, I can see them escaping at his death, they would have set that in motion long ago.
Although I still claim the title of the FoS's Dark Knight for me!!!

You know, it just occured to me that the ToUD might just be the day Gwydion finally escapes the Obsidian Gate. After all, Gaz V states:
and, if I am not mistaken, the author himself pointed out that G. was so powerful that IF he did escape, not even the DP would be mighty enough to keep him confined to RL...should he ever be freed, it will be a dark day for all of Ravenloft..
Given the Obsidian Gate is deep within the Shadow Rift and that, normally, you can't enter that domain via conventional means, a half-fiend like Malocchio (endowed with innate transportation abilities) could make all the difference...
Now this is is an interesting idea. Why not, after all? Gwydion indeed seems to be the most impending danger in current RL, and that means quite a lot.
